The health care mistake
Letter to the Editor of the Democrat Herald online newspaper.
Posted: Tuesday, March 23, 2010 5:45 pm | (15) Comments
It’s a sad day in America. When we sent folks to Congress, they were elected to represent all of us. Yet they ignored the will of 60 percent of their constituents, in order to “fix” a problem that affects 15 percent of Americans.
There was a much simpler solution than the 2,000-page document they approved, and most of them either didn’t read it or didn’t understand all the details.
Here is my simple solution.
1) Insure the uninsured uninsurable. I’d help pay for that.
2) Clean up the fraud in Medicare/Medicaid, sooner than later.
3) Educate people about their options in health insurance coverage; catastrophic insurance is an affordable option. We don’t need a Cadillac plan that covers every little medical event.
4) Show people why it’s advantageous to eat healthier, exercise, and to stop drinking, smoking and taking illegal drugs.
5) Allow for interstate purchasing of health insurance.
6) Insurance commissioners need to say no to the rate increases. Without their approval, no rate increases will take place. Perhaps the rate increases need to go before a non-government employee board made up of everyday private citizens and business owners.
Instead of taking small steps to improve our health insurance plans, we are being saddled with a plan so full of loopholes, it will probably cost us more than we can ever hope to afford. A plan that could land you in jail if you refuse coverage — great plan. I am looking forward to November.

Who Have We Become?
The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency.
It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president.
The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.
The republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.” — Author Unknown
Texas Woman Told US Flag Is Offensive
A local woman, in the DFW Metroplex area, was forced to remove Old Glory from her office because of a complaint made by a co-worker who is an immigrant to the U.S.
The woman’s supervisor removed her flag and placed it on the FLOOR, adding insult to injury. This took place right before the Memorial Day weekend no less (adding further insult to injury).
Debbie McLucas, a supervisor at Kindred hospital in Mansfield, Texas had a 3’x5’ flag hanging in an office that she shares with the other 3 hospital supervisors. One of which was the complainer and is also an immigrant here from Africa.
This is both unbelievable and OUTRAGEOUS!
The one who complained was the one who took it upon herself to remove the flag and then laid it down on the floor. That is inexcusable behavior and gross misconduct! This goes against protocol and is a slap in the face to our military, their families, and every American patriot. It is a most grievous insult, and should be treated as such.
“When McLucas came to work Friday, her boss told her another supervisor had found her flag offensive. ‘I was just totally speechless. I was like, ‘You’re kidding me,’ McLucas said.
McLucas’ husband and sons are former military men. Her daughter is currently serving in Iraq as a combat medic.
McLucas said the supervisor who complained has been in the United States for 14 years and is formerly from Africa. McLucas said that supervisor took down the flag herself.”
Incidentally, I submitted a comment, but it called me Anonymous. I didn’t see a place to sign in. My comment is the one that starts with “Shame, shame, SHAME . . . . “ I’ll figure out how to sign in and repost under my name. I’m not ashamed to tell the truth.
I hope that enough people will take offense at this and let Kindred know it. We need to be showing support for our country and our troops, esp at a time when our current administration is doing SO much to undermine our country and our troops.
Used to, immigrants to our shores were so very THANKFUL and GRATEFUL to be allowed to come live here, in a land where they could prosper and do better for themselves than what their previous prospects had been. They would join the military and took GREAT pride in displaying the American flag and in participating in acts of freedom granted to them by being citizens of these United States of America!
Now we have a bunch of spoiled rotten little babies on the bottle, that are not only fault-finding grumbling murmurers, but also most ungracious and unappreciative. This type of person really should consider leaving America and moving somewhere else entirely. Let them go to France or better yet–CUBA!

Muslim Terrorist Plot In NY Against Americans & Jews
The FBI and NYPD captured 4 Muslim men Wednesday night who had plotted terrorist bombings on Jewish synagogues/centers and military targets in New York. This was reported early on by my local NBC affiliate.
They attempted to plant bombs outside Jewish community centers in Riverdale (Bronx area). At least one of the bombs was a car bomb
“The FBI said the Muslim suspects were angry and full of hate for America.” (Well apparently they’re also anti-Semitic, let’s not miss that disturbing little fact. Americans and Jews—no matter where they are—seem to be the scapegoats and absolute targets of every Muslim extremist we’ve found so far. Yep, definite pattern.)
Thankfully, the FBI knew of their plot for about a year, and even supplied them with fake bombs in an undercover operation prior to the attempt to use the bombs to murder innocent people.
An additional disturbing fact is that the leader of the Muslim terrorists has 27 (yes TWENTY-SEVEN) past arrests and was known to spew out hateful threats about Jewish people and Americans. The article in my local online paper said that several of the other suspects (there were only 4—that must mean 2 outside the leader) have spent time in prison over drug charges “and may have converted to Islam in prison” authorities said.
Reading that they may have (means almost assuredly) converted to Islam while serving prison sentences brings to mind the video, What Islam Is Not on recruiting from within the prisons a type of personality that they can control. So I’m posting that video at the top of this blog.
And while on the subject of terrorists on American soil, there was also a story released last night about the top terrorism suspect that will be coming to New York from Gitmo to stand trial here. The story subtitle is, “Ahmed Ghailani first Gitmo detainee to face trail in civilian criminal court”.
(By the way, do you believe Obama will keep us all safe and sound? Not me, I have absolutely no confidence in him, or his cabinet whatsoever.) Get ready for the schmooze, he gives a speech today on national security. (More blog fodder.)
Back to the first article, on the NY Muslim terrorists, there were so many spicey comments, that I feel I should include the first few here.
“I wonder if secretly Obama is upset these men were caught…”
“How very convenient. The day before Obama is to give a major speech about national security we have this bust. It comes just in time for Obama to point at it and say how safe he is keeping us. Will this overshadow all the other ways that he has put us at risk? Probably. His adoring fans in MSM will play it just as he wants it.”
“These guys may seem like total losers, but honestly, weren’t the 9-11 terrorists basically the same sort of idiots from the same shallow end of the meme pool? Maybe they can be thwarted if we just, you know, try. Never thought I’d say it, but congrats to the FBI for saving some lives!”
“If there are those who are gathering waterboards I shall not say their names! Of course, the Obama administration would like to place these men in the general U.S. population and give them social security payments, section 8 housing, free medical care and an apology for all of America’s wrongs!”
National Tax Day Tea Party–Revolution Begins
Make no mistake, Americans are getting sick and tired of the games that Washington law makers are playing with our monies.
People of all ages, all races, all walks of life are uniting for the overall good: to send a clear and distinct message to our administration in Washington (and in political seats all across the country, local and state) that EVERY lawmaker can be replaced. He/she can be retired, and a better man/woman that actually loves this country can take their place.
We need to throw out all the politicians and replace them with TRUE STATESMEN. Understand that there is a world of difference between a ‘politician’, and a ‘statesman’. Learn the difference. Ronald Reagan was a statesman, the head of our current administration is a motivational speaker full of empty promises and hot air.
On Greta Wire, she has a pole asking if this HUGE event that took place all across our nation today was a one time event, or the beginning of a serious movement.
When I took the poll there had been 28794 votes taken at that point. 26437 (or 99%–yes, NINETY-NINE PERCENT) all voted YES, that this is the Beginning of a movement. Only 357 (or 1%) voted No.
World Net Daily ran the story, “Taxpayers descend upon politicians in numbers far beyond expectations“
Ning Results for Tax Day Tea Parties across the nation are here.
Pajama TV is running an article instructing individuals on starting their own tea party protests.
And Glenn Beck’s site announced the governor of Texas announcing that we can indeed secede, it’s completely doable, and at this point fiscally responsible to the tax payers of this great state. (But that’s another story entirely, which I’ll have to add later. I’ve already written two articles on that subject in this blog site at an earlier date.) My point is, people are fed up and ready for REAL change. not ‘chains’.
There is some totally awesome video footage taken from the Tax Day Tea Parties from around the nation. They really stir the patriotism. And if you haven’t heard Lloyd Marcus’ Tea Party Song, then you’re missing out! 🙂
I’ll include some videos here for your viewing pleasure: 🙂

Ken Timmerman on Michael Savage Show
I took this video from You Tube. You can visit the Michael Savage channel to see his collection.
This is some pretty stout stuff.
The message here is so disturbing! People need to know what’s going on in our world.
White House TV
Wow, this is interesting. I vaguely remember watching/reading something on this a while back.
Just launched today (April 1, 2009). Whitehouse.com, and Whitehouse network and TV.
I hope this enterprise does well, it’s innovative, it’s smart, it’s needed, and it’s technologically cool. 🙂
The goals expressed for this endeavor are:
- Claims to be the first live online political news network.
- Promises to be neutral and non-partisan
- Will strive to consistently provide direct current info on American polity and provide real-time updates on the actions/goings on of our elected leaders.
- It promises to allow a place/opportunity for Americans to express their opinions on current issues.
- Live talk show with call-in capability using skype, cell, and landline phones.
- User generated content. They’re offering the platform for anyone to implement their own live call-in talk show with call-in and live chat capability using their network. All you’ll need would be a camera and computer with internet connection.
- Offer a toolkit for more experienced videographers to create more polished self-created shows.
- Promise their hosted programs and productions will be consistent with the type of professional programming we’re used to seeing on the regular tv channels from the syndicates (CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, etc).
- Plans to air newscasts 3 times daily, morning, noon, evening, with one special evening program nightly to start out.
- Their goal is to go to 24 a day programming eventually
Quote from the site:
You now have your chance to have your own Live TV Show just like a Sean Hannity or Keith Olbermann. All you need is a camera and an Internet connection. This is a Free Service, so start broadcasting.
God Bless Dr. Orly Taitz
I heard her speak on Blog Talk Radio this past Sunday night (on the Patriot’s Heart Broadcast Network). I sent out an email to my peeps about it–people need to know about this precious lady. THIS is the channel I actually listened to the broadcast.
She’s Russian, immigrated here to the States, and became a true American patriot. She’s fighting for our rights and she uses her skills in litigation. If you can, listen to the original podcast that I heard, it’s long–but it’s worth it–I promise. (They’re amateurs {like me} but just stay with it–you’ll be glad you did.)
Dr. Taitz has her own website and a mailing list (I joined of course).
I hope you can catch that show. Check out her website and be encouraged. 🙂
World Net Daily did a story on her last night, it’s a good prep before listening to the Internet Radio show she did 3 nights ago. 🙂
Notre Dame — Should Obama Be Honored?
Father Jonathan Morris, correspondent for the Fox Forum, makes an excellent case for his faith/church in his article, Controversy at Notre Dame–Should Obama Be Honored?
Quote:
The cap and gown are not given to an “office.” They are recognitions of extraordinary personal accomplishment worthy of imitation. When a Catholic university gleefully grants an honorary law degree to someone who is using the law against the most vulnerable members of the human family–the unborn–vigorous and charitable critique is warranted, because silence would imply approval.
Bless you Father Morris for taking a stand and shootin’ straight–YOU ROCK!
